support, was unable to practice with the
others, and used the gymnasium at odd
times by himself. One day he accident
ally broke piece Of apparatus, and in
accordance with the rules was promptly
expelled from the club.
The lad is now DR.. Dudley A. Sargent.
director of the Hemenway Gymnasium
and professor of physical training at
Harvard University. The accident and
its result supplied the impetus which has
made him the leading gymnasium d.
rector Of the United States and revolu-
tionized the entire system Of physical
training throughout the country. Piqued
at the expulsion from his club, young
Sargent gathered together some pieces of
simple apparatus in barn and set him
self at regular and vigorous practice.
When the club gave an exhibition, a few
weeks later, he waited till the. members
had finished their display, and then STEP
ped forward and easily surpassed their
most striking feats. This gained for
him applause at home and reputation
outside of Belfast, SO that a little later
he became the gymnastic instructor at
Bowdoin College, fitting himself mean
while, with private tutor, to enter col
lege as a student. While at Bowdoin, where
he was graduated with honor in 1876, he
laid substantial foundation for the spe-
cial work to which his life Is devoted. In
1879 he was invited to assume charge of
the gymnasium at Yale College and for
three years lived the triple existence of
hardworking student, and of instructor
in the gymnasiums Of Bowdoin College
at Brunswick, Me-, and Yale College at
New Haven, Conn. He then entered the
Yale Medical School, from which he was
graduated in 1873. While at New Haven
he saw the imperfections in the old sys-
tenn of gymnastic training, and set him
self the task of evolving something bet
ter. Young men were then trained in
groups. Apparatus was provided and
the men were required to adjust them
selves to it. The result was sometimes
a high degree of physical development.
Often no benefit was gained, while in
some cases serious injury resulted from
over-exertion. DR.. Sargent conceived
and developed the idea of individualism
in physical culture. He introduced ex-
aminations to discover wherein each one
was deficient, and arranged the appara-
tus and exercises to develop that part or
function. The new idea involved rev.
olution. DR.. Sargent laid the subject
before the faculty of Yale College, and
proposed to introduce the system at New
Haven. 1t was favorably reported on by
the committee appointed to investigate
it, but the conservative element prevailed,
and Yale rejected the greatest opportu-
nifty she ever enjoyed for becoming a
pioneer in the development of the body.
A year later DR.. Sargent established
the Fifth-avenue Gymnasium, in New
York, on the present site of the Madison
square Theatre, and put his new idea
into practical use, considering 1t at that
time only as therapeutic agent for the
cure of local defects. In September,
1870, he accepted an appointment as
director of the new Hemenway Gymna-
sium, and assistant professor of physical
training at Harvard University, Cam
bridge. Here the new system found

The assertion is frequently made that
the Senate of the past quarter Of CEN
tury, collectively considered, has not
equaled in ability and craftsmanship that
of the ante-bellum period, and that lat

dividual greatness. To certain extent,
perhaps, ,thisproposition is well grounded,
but 1t must be remembered that in the
earlier days of the republic the Office
sought the man to a much wider scope
than in times comparatively recent The
methods of American politics have
changed in the meantime, and local inter.
ests have become so diversified through
the enormous growth of the country

Free Trade.

The reduction ofinternal revenue and
the taking off Of venue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving he.burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby give
ing one-ffth more medicine in the IS
cent size. The August Flower for
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and tn
German Syrup for cough and lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale
OF any medicines in the world. The adj
vantage of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

Solid Industry.

The most conservative observers east
and west are beginning to be conscious
of the fact that the development Of the
vast mineral resources of this country
have assumed a position Of importance,
and is beginning to be recognized as a
legitimate business, worthy of careful
investigation by the most cautious and
practical capitalists, and by men in
every part of the country. While many
have been anticipating a food tide of
speculation to appear and rush with its
spasmodic impulse over the country, a
most imposing industry has been es-
tablished upon enduring foundations,
and has assumed business characteristics
which would commend it to the atten-
ton and confidence Of the best and
most reliable people seeking investment.
No one who has the true interest of
mining at heart, can regret this change,
and those who have been long con-
WINGED of the vast possibilities, profit
and advantages to be secured, and the
benefits which will come from a proper
and steady development of one of the
most enduring and permanent in
dustries of the country, will rejoice that
at last its real value and character has
been recognized, and hat its establish
ment upon a practical business basis
has at last been secured.
1t is possible that the speculative
fever, the unreasoning excitement and
the fluctuations of the stock market. re-
CARELESS of the condition and even OF
the existence of the mine, in some
instances, may have had their place in
the result which has been achieved, but
with product as a chief point and salts
factory returns, the prime object Of all
investments of capital and labor, the
new dispensation must bring more
satisfactory results and prove better for
the upbuilding Of this most magnificent
industry than anything which has come
under the old dispensation, bearing so
much of loss, disappointment, failure,
not to say dishonesty and crime in its
train, that few car desire to see a return
of the questionable methods of the past,
The character and reputation of the
leading business men and capitalists
now making careful investment in this
field, is one OF the most favorable indi-
cations to be noted in this connection
and is the best demonstration that can
be given to prove radical departure
from the Cd methods, under which one
of the IS6st practical and substantial in.

odium of tickleness and uncertainty
which cannot justly be attributed to a
business whose chief characteristics are
magnitude, solidity, and a foundation

The largest diamond in the world was
found in the Kimberly mines of South
Africa in July, 1884. The original
weight of the stone was 4574 carats, a
trife over three ounces troy. 1t was cut
in Amsterdam, a years time being con
sumed in the cutting, which was not
done by abrasion with another diamond,
as diamonds are usually cut, but polish
ed down en- the scaif, and a great
amount of time was consumed in cool

stone in its finished condition weighs

peadwood Reduction Works.

A meeting of the board of directors
was held last evening, at which the eSA
pense bill of Mr.. Clark, $500, was al
lowed. The proposition Of Mr.. Clark to
treat at San Francisco, 600 pounds of ore
Of each Of eight locations, or a total of
1880 pounds, for a consideration of $500,
was also accepted. 1t was decided to
act upon the suggestion of the same
gentleman to send Perry Ankeny to San
Francisco with the ore, the board to
pay his actual expenses. Mr.. Ankeny
was appointed a committee to gather,
sack and ship the ore. Messrs. Frank
lin and Ayres were appointed a com
mittee to solicit subscriptions to the
capital stock Of the company, of which
about 10000 remain undisposed of. A
call for 3 per cent of subscriptions was
made, payable in accordance with
stipulated provisions, within ten days
from call.
Companies contributing ore for the
test at Lockhart's works, probably will
be the Buxton, Retriever, Golden Re-
ward, Tornado, Portland, Steward, Wei
come, New Era and Ross-Hannib al
Mr.. Ankeny will begin work tomorrow
with a view Of having the entire ship
ment on the road by Thursday or
Friday. Returns are expected by the
Goth of September. The board pays the
bill of Mr. Clark, $500, and the actual
expenses Of Mr.. Ankeny, leaving only
the transportation and working charges
for the mine contributors.
The action of the board is properly
considered of the most important in
the interest Of the Black Hills that
could have been suggested. promising as
it does a solution to the greatly vexed
problem so long presented by the re-
fractory ores of Bald Mountain. Success
at San Francisco-and no one questions
it-means the construction Immediately
Of large reduction works affording en-
ployment to many, and better still, a
ready market for millions of tons Of ore
for which now there is no demand. The
question of expense is of no moment
whatever. The fact established that the
ore can be treated, an abundance of
funds can readily be procured from
abroad if necessary, but the enterprise
is of a purely local character and viii! so

The Ute Troubles.

The trouble with Ute Indians dates
back fifteen years. when, as they com
plain, they were over-reached and
cheated by what is known as the Brunot
treaty. Afterward the government
failed to meet its. money obligations
under this treaty, and in 1879 something
like $4,000 had accumulated to their
credit and was withheld. The Indians
became dissatisfied, resented the efforts
of Agent Meeker to compel them to fol-
low agricultural pursuits, and when that
officer called upon the troop to enforce
his orders, killed him and several of
his employees, while a body of warriors
under Chiefs Colorow and Jack am
pushed the approaching troops in Milk
River canyon, killing their commander,
Major Thornburg, and a number of
others The history Of that brief cam
paign, ending in the defeat Of the r.
dams and their transfer to separate
reservations, is familiar. The Southern
Utes were left IN the border country of
Colorado and New Mexico; the I'm
compahgres were transferred to the
junction Of the Gunnison and Grand
rivers, and the White river Utes were
moved to the lands Of the Uintah reser-
walton. The latter protested against the
arrangement, went to their reservation
under protest, and have remained on it
only under compulsion. Colorow has
been persistent in breeding discomfort,
and has led several thieving incursions
into Colorado. He has not a large fol-
but the danger is that in the
present dissatisfied state Of the Ute
mind he may induce others now on the
several reservations to join him in max
ing war. General Sheridan estimates
the various bands of Utes in Colo !
RADIO and Utah number about $500.
They are all well armed and supplied
with ammunition and it has been

only provided the latter, but have been

A New Enterprise.

James Rogers goes down to Oelrichs,
Saturday, to confer with Harry Oelrichs,
president of the Anglo-American Cattle
company contemplating the erection of
an abattoir on an extensive scale at
Oelrich's to supply the markets of the
Hills and other points as demanded.
The experiences of last winter demon
strated the value of such an establish
ment both to the and dealers,
the Anglo-American selling upward of
100000 worth Of corn-fed beef in this
immediate vicinity, while purchasers
thereof obtained better beef than ever
before sold in this market. Mr.. Oelrichs
visited Deadwood a few weeks ago,
when preliminaries were arranged, and
upon returning and comforting with
others Of the company, it was decided
to push the enterprise on an even more
extensive scale than at first contemplate
ed, the only restriction imposed being
that no real estate should be purchased.
